Didn’t he suggest having people go rake the forest to solve the problem?

  A “brush rake” is a heavy equipment attachment which is very common in logging/forestry.

  https://heartland.org/opinion/trump-was-right-about--raking-finnish-forests/ https://heartland.org/opinion/trump-was-right-about--raking-... > In Finland, after clear-cutting a forest area, crews use heavy machinery (similar to what is used in this video) to “rake” or gather tree harvesting residues, tree roots and other material into huge piles. The biomass is then chipped onsite after it has dried up sufficiently, and chips are hauled to local heat-producing plants to generate warmth for local residents.

    This has absolutely nothing to do with material build up and drought conditions that exacerbate extreme forest fires. What you linked is weird propaganda about Finnish forestry companies trying to utilize clear cut areas more effectively.

      The main gist was clearing forests areas, not that method. California wasn't doing anything at that time. Even the method he mentioned is used (as opposed to what the juvenile mockings suggest) but for a slightly different but related purpose. Enjoy this and the instance where the German was laughing at Trump when he warned against over reliance on Russia.
